Malkin: 'Why Mr. President? Why?'

By Michelle MalkinAugust 8, 2012 6:58 am

Text Size:AAA

Chutzpah overload in full effect: President Obama's sleazy super-PAC, run by his former White House spokesman Bill Burton, just released an ad accusing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney of causing the cancer death of a steelworker's wife.

It's not just a slanderous and false attack. It's a foolish attempt to camouflage the administration's massive jobs death toll, politicized pension plundering and Big Labor bailout cronyism. And it will backfire big time because the thousands and thousands of true victims of Obama's economic wreckage are speaking up and fighting back.

Let's dispense with the "Romney = murderer" meme first. The warped Priorities USA ad features the claims of one Joe Soptic, a former employee at the Kansas City-based GST Steel plant. The plant went bankrupt years after Bain Capital acquired it. Soptic blames Romney for the loss of his job and health insurance -- and for the subsequent death of his wife a "short time after" the plant's closure.

But Romney stopped working for Bain in 1999. The plant closed in 2001. And Soptic's wife died in 2006. Oh, and Soptic admitted to CNN on Tuesday afternoon that the family in fact had health insurance at the time of Soptic's wife's death. But it's still all-powerful, time-traveling, omnipresent Darth Romney's fault.

Obama flack turned super-PAC slime-master Burton shrugged off the facts and doubled down on the campaign's class-warfare bloviation. "Families and individuals had to find new jobs, new sources of health insurance and a way to make up for the pensions they lost," he told Politico. "Mitt Romney has had an enduring impact on the lives of thousands of men and women, and for many of them, that impact has been devastating."

Yet, the Soptic story is the best they could scrape together? Stamp this one "EPIC FAIL."

While Team Obama promotes fables to indict Romney, the incontrovertible stories of the current administration's economic malpractice are finally getting out. In 2010, I first reported on how Obama's UAW bailout threw tens of thousands of nonunion autoworkers under the bus. It's the ongoing horror story of some 20,000 white-collar workers at Delphi, a leading auto parts company spun off from GM a decade ago.

As Washington rushed to nationalize the U.S. auto industry with $80 billion in taxpayer "rescue" funds and avoid contested court termination proceedings, the White House auto team and the Treasury Department schemed with Big Labor bosses to preserve UAW members' costly pension funds by shafting their nonunion counterparts.

In addition, the nonunion pensioners lost all of their health and life insurance benefits. The abused workers -- most from hard-hit northeast Ohio, Michigan and neighboring states -- had devoted decades of their lives as secretaries, technicians, engineers and sales employees at Delphi/GM. Some workers have watched up to 70 percent of their pensions vanish.

"I worked for 34 years at GM/Delphi Corp. When Delphi went bankrupt, we lost everything," Dana Strickland of Michigan wrote me. "Because I was salaried (middle management), we lost our pension and health insurance. I did not belong to the union, so GM/Delphi could have cared less. I have never felt so betrayed. We never hear this brought to the public's attention. People need to know how we were screwed, while the Obama administration kissed up to the union."

"I'm one of the Delphi Salaried Retirees that lost the health care, life insurance and 67 percent of the pension I was promised in retirement after working hard for 40 years," Charles Stone of Michigan e-mailed. "Words cannot describe the frustration and let down these events have thrust on my family's lives, and to have GM's rescue all sugar-coated in the current political environment is like putting lipstick on a pig. ... We will continue to fight to right this grievous wrong."

Tom Rose of Ohio added: "I am one of the 20,000 salaried retirees that lost all of my health care and -- in my case -- a 40 percent pension cut. So I am now paying increased health care costs with fewer pension dollars and contributing what is left to our lawsuit to correct this injustice. Meanwhile, the politically connected union has their full pension and 90-plus percent of their health care. You have hit upon the key question: How can our own federal government pick winners and losers amongst its own citizens?"

Through two costly years of litigation and investigation, the Delphi workers have exposed how the stacked White House Auto Task Force schemed with union bosses to "cherry pick" (one Obama official's own words) which financial obligations the new Government Motors company would assume and which they would abandon based on their political expedience. Obama's own former auto czar Steve Rattner admitted in his recent memoir that "attacking the union's sacred cow" could "jeopardize" the auto bailout deal.

In June, 20 months after a federal judge first ordered the government to cooperate, the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association broke through the administration's information stonewall and dislodged 62,000 pages of documents in their lawsuit to right the administration's wrongs. As The Daily Caller reported on Tuesday, the documents included "internal government emails (that contradicted) sworn testimony, in federal court and before Congress, given by several Obama administration figures. They also indicate that the administration misled lawmakers and the courts ... and that administration figures violated federal law."

Meanwhile, the Delphi workers who got shafted are getting in the faces of the administration and the public with a new web ad produced by conservative advocacy group Let Freedom Ring. They are asking, "Why, Mr. President? Why?" They -- and America -- deserve answers and justice, not more Bizarro World smears and fantastical bedtime stories.

Why do we asik ‘why’? It is because ‘he is who he is’. Obama is a piece of work (said because I cannot print what he is in actuality). His agenda is to rule the rest of the world and ruin America . If you look at his policies…he is doing a pretty good job….no matter what his togue is saying. He is an evil person, plain and simple.

Your post is spot on pagney. Their goal is to sling enough mud in hopes that some of it will stick. It is what they have always done. Accuse without any proof. They know some poor fool will believe them although they are habitual liars.

Obama is evil and his cronies in the Democratic Party are evil. Any one who votes for him, or them, are either evil, greedy, stupid, or ignorant of the truth. Frankly I can’t see how anyone can claim they don’t know that he is a creep, or that he plays the blame game to the hilt. Like his mascot he goes around crying in the wind,”It is he fault, he fault, he fault!” Nothing is ever his fault, not even the lies he is caught in. He simply says his statements were taken out of context.

Help save our country and restore moral sanity to our government. Vote to end slavery. Vote Republican and send those Democratic demons home!

Obama has opened a can of worms which will turn and consume him. The hollow hand of Chicago Democrat politics campaign truths never enlighten and improve life so must degenerate into personal attack and diversion from the real issues. How many times did we hear that having a sexual relation with Monica Lewinsky had nothing to do with Clinton’s ability to run the country and should be ignored? When it comes to the personal perversions of THEIR candidate, character never matters, just results When it comes to the personal successes of OUR candidate, character of integrity never matters nor does results ( Like the ability to create wealth). Liberal political campaigns can never be based on the obvious failures of the not so obvious failed socialist ideology, but must rest on a mantra of “ My fallen politician is less fallen than your fallen politician” ( It’s all they really have to offer at this point) and when their politicians falls, which they who operate against truth always do, they MUST tear down those who fail less and particularly guys like Romney who actually don’t fail but succeed MUST be destroyed with lies and collective calumny. This is what you get these days when you vote Democrat, so why do you continue to choose failure over success?

Horror story by horror story blanket our country…pain and destruction of those who earned and deserved better having paid for it with dedication and trust…

The most dangerous behaviors bringing upon this havoc have come upon most because they TRUSTED their PRESIDENT who openly denied them support or backing of their rights…

…and he did so by accepting PIECES OF SILVER for his lies, for his dishonesty, for his embrace of criminals, thieves, and those who seek to destroy AMERICA…

America…ENOUGH IS ENOUGH…

THIS PATHETIC CRIMINAL who is destroying your families, your father’s hard work as family head, your mother’s dedication, support, and sacrifices and love for her family, your children’s hopes and encouragement…

….IS A BOLD FACED LIAR who drains the life-blood out of those who love this AMERICA…

AMERICA WE CAN DO BETTER

THIS MAN MUST BE RETURNED FROM WHICH HE CAME…!

noveldog….”habitual liars”??? What specifically has Obama lied about? Did he lie about his residency like Romney did when he ran for governor? How can you say, fairly, that Democrats throw issues out there with no proof. The birther crowd still questions Obama’s birth even after he released his long form birth certificate. Romney can’t even release his taxes.

For you to think that Obama/Democrats are evil is beyond logic. How can we live in a country where its citizens think the others are evil? What is all the people who voted for Obama thought like you. There would be almost 70 million people thinking you were evil. Come on, have some sense of sanity.

Finally, you talk about how “nothing is ever his fault”. Virtually every republican candidate for Prez blamed him for everything from gas prices to the weather. Gas prices are not his fault, fast and furious is not his fault, the economy losing hundreds of thousands of jobs in the months just after he took office were not his fault.

AMVOTER…Again, I am not hearing from you what specifically Obama is lying about. I can point out specific instances where Romney lied and continues to lie. On multiple occasions Romney said he saw his father march with Dr. King, when asked if he actually witnessed this, he said “No” and that when he said “saw” he meant he could see how his father would do something like that.

Clearly the facts don’t matter to you and I again ask you to show specifically where Obama has lied.

In reading the article and comments, I kept asking myself, How many of those “screwed” non-union workers voted for Obummer? I was talking to a guy the other day who lost his job and benefits at a Chevrolet dealership (one of those “abandoned” by GM – Government Motors – because of contributions to Conservative politicians).

I asked him that question – WHO did you vote for? He admitted he voted for the Bum – but .. it wasn’t supposed to be .. etc,etc. I responded, You GOT what you voted for, so you have no right to complain.

Now genesal, I think you’re being a little harsh, one-sided and implying that he’s a congenital and pathological liar, when in reality he told the truth on two occasions:

1. He said he wanted to “radically transform America”.
2. He said that he was just kidding about all those “shovel ready jobs”.

I mean, really, give him the credit he’s due and let’s run the clown out of town in November.

It’s typical Axelrod campaign strategy.
His habit is to destroy the reputation of an opponent so there is no one left for Obama to run against.

It’s worked in every contest Obama has been in.
That leaves the voter with only one choice, and that candidate has always been incompetent for the post in question.

How in the world did Obama checkmate and cripple the Clintons in the run-up to the 2008 election? The Obama/Axelrod destruction machine made the Arkansas mafia look like boy scouts.

Everywhere we turn on conservative forums and blogs, folks like us are screaming in print that Romney has to take off the gloves and go on offense and show that he’s got some onions, i.e., no tax returns until Obama releases his college transcripts and acknowledges his true birthplace. The jackals in the statist/socialist media had more info on the Aurora, CO shooter in 48 hours than we have ever had on Obama since his initial entry into public service in the Illinois legislature.

No one transforms from an admitted high school doper to a success at Occidental College, then to Harvard and Columbia without some preferential treatment, likely a combination of aid or quotas for a foreign national and affirmative action, the latter of which has been Obama’s access card everywhere he’s been. I’m white and I don’t have the least bit of guilt in my veins from turning out a half-black (rhymes with the insurance duck mascot) man from the highest office in the land. This grossly inept, unqualified, cunning and evil man and his “insufferable wife” (borrowed from another poster a while back) must be evicted from the People’s House- before Nov. 6 and if not by then they need to be steamrolled at the polls so that any voter fraud can still be overcome.

I have friends who worked for Delphi in Dayton Ohio that experienced the loss of retirement benefits as a result of the “sweetheart deal” worked out between the unions, GM and the Obama administration. Obama is such a pathetic hippocrite that panders for votes at the expense of real people. He and his Chicago style of bullying has no place in the presidency. The sooner we get rid of this “lemon” of a president the better.

The fact remains: the dems are lying and trying to smear a good man with these lies and innuendos because they cannot find anything that would even resemble a scandal on a man like Romney who has impeccable morals and a remarkable work ethic. This smear/lie campaign is a classic tactic used by Axelrod and odumbo during the Ill. state senate and the US senate campaigns. They use sealed divorce files (how did they become unsealed?) to personally and professionally destroy any and all opponents.
This is a warning to any and all who disagree or oppose the obama thugocracy: beware! You too will find yourself the object of his latest smear and destroy campaign.
Chicago mafia tactics at it’s finest.
Obama is nothing more than a liar and thug.

Obama has already proved he is a lying thug and will stoop to any level to win reelection. Using that old man in his despicable, disgusting lying ad is a perfect example of who obama is.

The leader of this Super Pac is a “former White House spokesman Bill Burton” who apparently still works for Obama. Anyone who is connected to Obama seems to me to be hired for their stupidity, lack of morals, or their ability to ignore the law.

In politics, as in corporations, the tone, tactics and leadership start at the top. Anything involving Obama has been exactly the same starting with his early days in Chicago politics. He either actively, or passively, approves of anything done to get him reelected. Ever hear of he word responsibility?

“Responsibility is a unique concept. It can only reside and inhere in a single individual. You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you. You may disclaim it, but you cannot divest yourself of it. Even if you do not recognize it or admit its presence, you cannot escape it. If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion or ignorance, or passing the blame can shift the burden on someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you never had anyone really responsible.”

Rick, are you stupid enough to believe that Obama has no influence over “his former White House spokesman Bill Burton” who runs the PAC?

Do you really believe that if Obama asked his friend and former employee not to run the ad or to cancel the ad that Burton would refuse to honor his request?

This is a proven Obama tactic where he “claims to remain above the fray” while allowing and even encouraging his minions to get as dirty as necessary while he retains plausible deniability.

Consider Obama’s stirring tale for the Selma audience about how he had been conceived by his parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, because they had been inspired by the fervor following the “Bloody Sunday” voting rights demonstration that was commemorated March 4. “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama,” he said, “because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama”Obama was born in 1961, and the Selma march occurred four years later, in 1965. The New York Times reported that when the senator was asked about the discrepancy later that day, he clarified: “I meant the whole civil rights movement.”

What is TRULY frightening is that Obamas past is more cloudy and vague than that of a CIA agent.
No education records available, to include college transcripts or yearbook photos.
All statements and testimony lending doubt to his nation and/or location of birth are scrubbed out of existence. (The clearly false computer generated “birth certificate” wouldn’t get him any other federal job)
Scary that a person NO ONE knows, is President of the US.

Why? The reason is simple! Obama wants to win in November and will stand back and let his storm troopers say and do anything to make that happen. It goes back to the old Marxist mantra that anything that advances the cause of socialism is justified. It is also a mute admission that he cannot run on his failed record, so he must try to destroy Romney by any and all means possible.

The idiot Pac should at least get their facts straight, Romney left Bain in l999 or so and when the steel factory shut down, he was heading the olympics. His wife had a jobat the time and had insurance. Her employment ended and they had no insurance. To try and frame Romney or Bain for this is unthinkable. What about all the green energy companies that went belly-up after giving them our money. What about their workers. I think we would also hear a lot of heart-warming stories. And as for GM, they got themselves in their mess and the non-union workers got shafted. What about all the dealership all over the country that were closed. The government did not cause their troubles, the unions demanding so much did. The unions cause more trouble physically and emotionally than most companies, governments etc. However, the government has no business subsidizing anything or anyone with money that does not belong to them. It belongs to the citizens. Companies come and go and I guess it would be the presidents fault, as no company ever made it on their own,they had union workers (teachers, firemen and policemen) and government making it happen for them. So I guess it goes back to governments and unions who cause all the problems.

Wake up! Obama’s pac knew exactly what they were doing. There are no depths to which Obama will sink, no lies he won’t tell to get reelected. Obama is a socialist thug out to destroy our way of life. The only thing he cares about is himself.

King Obama, King Bush, King Clinton. The executive orders of all of these Presidents continue to this day, even though two of three are no longer President of the United States.
King Romney might be the next in line. He has a long list of Kings in his past presidents.
The problem is that executive orders do not have an expiration date. Every President in a national emergency should have the power to act. No one argues that. What I argue is that emergencies end. At that point, the Congress should have the power to legislate, not the President. They should not be used to legislate law.
To change this, the country would have to have leaders willing to stand up for what they believe and vote changes to close this loophole in the law.
I suggest mandatory expiration dates on emergency orders if not legislated by the Congress in a reasonable amount of time, like 30-90 days from its issuance. No re-issuance of Executive Orders similar to or same as the one before.
Personally,the Congress has not shown that kind of behavior in the past and I do not see it happening in the future.
Neither do I see the Supreme Court acting on this matter.
To do so would show something they seem to lack.

Their utterly desperate actions are an absolute proof that their internal polls are very bad. Obama is losing more than 15% of the Whites Voters who voted for him in 2008 in the swing states and with this he is going to lose the elections… The media polls can oversample democrats in any insane way they want to make Obama looks much stronger than he is but the reality is the opposite to that…

This ad shows both the depths of desperation that Obama’s teams have reached and just how well he learned the lessons of Chicago politics. Chicago politics say bully, marginalize and demonize your opposition any way possible, facts be damned. With a sycophant media operating more like a liberal lapdog than a watchdog, the administration can get away with offenses like this and Reid’s baseless attack of Romney accusing him of felony tax-evasion. This accusation is based on the “testimony” of an “unnamed source” that Harry is “valiantly protecting” for his lies. We all know that this source really doesn’t exist, except in the Bizarro world mental ruins that pass for Reid’s so-called brain. However, he can attack a vetted presidential candidate without a shred of objective proof and the silence coming from the MSM is deafening. The scariest part is how much Obama’s Chicago-style political machine resembles the Nazis. The Nazi propaganda machine was one of the most effective in history, getting a generally peaceful people to believe enough lies to not only allow the atrocities of the Nazis, but actually help and abet those atrocities. The Nazis learned a lesson very early; if you say something often enough, regardless of whether it is true or not, people will begin to believe it simply because they’ve heard it so much. They used that strategy to great effect in alienating and demonizing the Jews in Germany. Well, what has the Obama propaganda machine selected as their “demon?” The so-called “1%” crowd. It doesn’t matter their attacks on these hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens are pure fantasy; attack often enough and people start to believe it. It needs to be realized that Obama isn’t inexperienced or misguided. He is actively evil; he wants to destroy America and everything America represents. Pay attention to any speech he makes without a teleprompter, and at some point his disdain for the American economic system and American exceptionalism will slip out, just as it did with the “you didn’t build that” gaffe or the Joe the Plumber “share the wealth” gaffe. We need to make sure this guy is on the unemployment line come January, a fate he’s secured for too many other Americans as it is already.

Saul Alinsky expanded and improved upon Hitler and Goebbel’s methods. William F. Buckley, Jr., a conservative icon said that he was, “very close to being an organizational genius.” Just because he was a Socialist swine, doesn’t mean he wasn’t smart or effective. Anyone who hasn’t read his “Rules for Radicals” should get a copy and read it cover to cover right now as it’s the enemy’s playbook and amazing in its simplicity and effectiveness. Might want to supplement it with Tom Wolfe’s, “Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers” and Sinclair Lewis’ prescient, “It Can’t Happen Here”.

AMVoter pretty much said what I was going to say in a nutshell. This ad is the most vile and despicable of the bunch, and while that man may have lost wife it doesn’t excuse his sleazy part in the making of this totally misleading and deceitful propaganda piece. Even though his wife didn’t even die until five years after the plant closed, it’s still Romney’s fault. Unbelievable. Michelle Malkin had it exactly right when she called this “Chutzpah overload”.

I agree totally, Phil. That man should be ashamed of using his dead wife in such an outright despicable lying ad.

Obama is anything but stupid. He has a socailist agenda and is very very good at spining that into an acceptable position.
The sad fact is that there is such a large number of voters who buy into his “we have to change” policies.
I have read everything I could find that Obama has written and I am amazed at the complete turn arounds that come out of his mouth in respect to what he has written.
I went to hear him speak in Chicago years ago. I found him intelligent, charismatic, great speaker and he scared the hell out of me.
His lack of business experience, the fact that he never ran anything, never had a responsible position in the private sector, never had to create and be responsible for a budget for a large company (yet alone a nation), but still spoke as though had the experience to do anything, was a shock to my common sense.
There are so many indications and examples of President Obama’s real agenda and what steps he and his team are willing to take to achieve the final socialist goal.
Wake up, we are in real danger, not just us but our children and grand children.

The latest attack on Romney is from the Huffington Post who claims that when Romney started Bain in 1983 that the only investors he could find were from Central America who invested 6 million dollars which helped Romney get Bain Capital off the ground. According to HuffPost, some of these investors were also funding “death squads” in Latin American countries during that period of time which was 40 years ago.

So now, this means Romney was somehow involved in death squads to go along with causing a man’s wife to die of cancer, has shipped thousands of jobs offshore, doesn’t pay any federal income taxes, and is a felon because he lied to the SEC about when he left Bain to take over the Olympics. He must be the sleazeball of all sleazeballs.

I’d say you’re the sleazeball. Go back to Huffypoop where your brain has been wallowing in the cesspool.

The GST steel plant would have been shut down before Bain’s purchase if no buyers had been found. Bain kept the plant open for 8 years prior to its closing down. More than 31 steel plants closed down during that time when steel manufacturing had gone south and China is now the #1 steel manufacturer in the world.

We can thank the unions for this. With inflated wages and benefits and pensions we no longer could compete with world competition.

Are you being sarcastic? If so, to whom? OR, are you condemning Michelle for the article? If so, then YOU are the buffoon.

I would think it was obvious I was speaking to the folks responsible for the ad, Obama’s Super-Pac in general and Joe Soptic specifically for allowing himself to be used in such an absurd stretch of the facts. Maybe Joe’s name, rather than ‘Soptic’ should have been ‘Sophistic”.

What on earth do you mean by “why”! It’s what DemoNrats do. Obama opens his mouth and new whoppers fall out. EVERYONE who is a part of this administration does likewise. The truth is not in them……..the why is really easy, there is no record of success on which to base their quest for a new bite at the elective apple. All that is left is to attack the person who wants a chance to fix what they have ruined.

Boy, this almost leaves me speachless! I’m about as furious with this article as the one about “You did not build that.” Obama and his Super Pac will not stop at anything to win, but this has got to be one that is so far fetched that those who support him should be shaking their heads in disbelief. They seem to finding anything to distort to keep the light away from Obama’s fraud and lies. Anyone who says that Obama hasn’t lied is totaly braindead.

Did you REALLY mean you are “furious with this article”, or did you mean you are furious WITH THE EVIL MACHINATIONS OF OBUMMER POLITICS REVEALED IN this article?

Your meaning is doubtful without clarification.

I do have to point out that PACs are supposed to have absolutely nothing t.o do with the candidate. It is against Federal and state law

However Obama is very good at getting others to work for him – in Illinois it was the Chicago Tribune that got those court records opened.

I suggest to the Liberals who have come to throw dirt that they stop in a little longer and read the list of lies posted here and which have sources, too.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi both lie for him as well as for themselves. lol

“Gee whiz, Meddy old boy, tell my old pal Putin to just hang on until after the election…….. I’ll have more flexibility, then.” Good grief, you leftwingers must be smokin’ the good stuff to believe a word that comes out of his mouth except when he thinks nobody is listening!

This is same as me selling a car to someone else 4 years ago and they have an accident and kill someone and they come after me because I owned the car once 4 years ago. Obama, really knows the truth, and not only that, he was the one who okayed this ad. We must vote this mad man out of office.
